North Star Spirits, Tarot Series, The Magician

A series of bottlings named the Tarot was released, featuring tarot cards on the labels. The 12-year-old expression, "The Magician," contained Grain and Malt Whiskies and was bottled at 45.5% ABV. The nose had delightful marshmallows and vanilla, along with chocolatey marshmallows and toffee. The palate began with dulce de leche, almonds, hazelnut, and grain whisky. The aftertaste continued in the same vein, with dulce de leche, chocolate, almonds, and dry crushed almonds. Overall, this is a very sweet and reasonably enjoyable whisky. It's not particularly memorable but far from bad. Scored 80 out of 100.
